Go get a brand new mainspring 18#.........I argued and resisted getting one for a brand new 1911A1 once and after a gazillion seconds of angst and anguish over failure to feed I replaced the mainspring with a new 18# spring and have never had a cough or burp since with mine. May need a stronger spring. Wilson sells em as does wolffe.
Sorry I forgot to ping ya LC.......my memories shorter than my ....Oh never mind.
Stay safe !

Thanks. Mine has an 18# spring itself. Why would a weaker spring only mess up the first round in a mag?

Go get a brand new mainspring 18#I think you mean the recoil spring. The mainspring is the one in the mainspring housing that provides the tension for the hammer.
